Discover Articles

Article indexes usually reveal, rather than deliver, articles. 

Start with a keyword search to find your search terms in the citation or abstract. You'll then need to check whether Dartmouth owns the item.

Pay attention to subject headings for relevant items.  Running another search with those headings may yield better results.
